T0 all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ()w'nN K. HARRY, a citizen of the United States ofAn'ierica, re-- siding atthe city of St. Louis, in the State ofMissouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Storae-Receptacles, of which the following is a fill], clear, and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, formingpart of this specification.

My invention relates to a receptacle de-' signed for use as a containerfor ashes or 0t er substances and it has for its object to provide-astora e receptacle consisting of a plurality of she ls ofeorru atedsheet metal and a concrete wall located tween said corrugated sheetmetal shells, thereby rendering rability the receptacle one of greatstren th and (hiand one that is thorough y sanitary.

rspective view of my recept-acle. Fig. II is an enlarged verticalsection taken through the receptacle. Fig. III is a vertical sect1on ofthe lower part of ptacle illustrating a modification.

Figure I is a the rece Fig. IV 13 a vertical section of the lower partof the receptacle illustrating another modification.

1 designates the inner shell of my receptacle which is produced of asheet or sheets of corrugated metal and in which the corru- 'gationsextend horizontally.

2 is the outer shell of the receptacle which is of corrugated sheetmetal and may consist of one or more sheets, and in which thecorrugations extend horizontally. The ends of the sheet of metal fromwhich the outer shell is produced are brought together inoverlappingpositions andsecurcd together by a row of rivets 3. At the top andbottom of the outer shell and fitting over the topmost and lowermostcorrugations thereof are reinforcing bands 4 of channel shape. the endsof which are brou 'ht togcthcr adjacent to the united on s of t 1e sheetmetal outer rhcll and rigidly a tachcd to said shell by clips 5 ofchannel shape that fit over said reinforcing bands.

6 designates a filler wall consisting of concrete which is introduced ina plastic condition into the s ace bclwccu the inner aml outer shells oft in rcccplaclc and which may he of any desircd thickness that willcause fluid filler wall to all'ord' a dcsircd dcgrcc of rigidity andstrcngth in lhc i.'cm.-.pl:u-lc.

-- removed from the The receptacle asshown in FigsI and II position inwhich they have been confined in the receptacle, they may be renderedreadily accessible by either lifting the receptacle or overturning itwithout the irksome task of removing the contents from the interiorofthe receptacle.

.In the modification illustrated in Fig. III, I have shown the recetacle provided with a. sheet metal bottom'7 t; iat is connected to theinner shell 1 b avseam joint 8.

In the inodili atiouillustrated in Fig. IV,

Iha-ve shown the receptacle provided bottom that consists of 'a bed 7'of concrete on which the; receptacle rests and bet-ween which and theconcrete filler wall of the receptacle thereis preferably adhesion thatis occasioned in theJ laying of the two concrete parts one .upon theother. I have shown my receptacle as of rectangular form, but it isobvious that without departing from my invention the receptacle may beof any other shape such as'round or oval.

I claim 1. A- storage receptacle consisting of inner and outercorrugated sheet metal shells, spaced apart and providing an open topand in which the corrugations extend horizontally, and a filler wall ofconcrete located between said shells, and securing the shells together,substantially as set forth.

3. A storage receptacle consisling'ol' inner and outer corrugated shcctmetal shells spaced apart, a concrete fillcr wall between the shellsand'securing the shclls together, reinforcing channel shaped handssurrounding said outer shell and channel shapcd clips connecting saidchannel shaped hands, substantially as sct forlh.
